John McCain extended an invitation to Barack Obama, asking the Democratic candidate to join him on a visit to Iraq. The Obama campaign has called it “a political stunt” and declined the invitation. Senantor Obama said “I think that if I’m going to Iraq, then I’m there to talk to troops and talk to commanders. I’m not there to try to score political points or perform. The work they’re doing there is too important.”
McCain shot back that he was “glad to hear that Senator Obama is now, quote, considering a trip to Iraq.” H told reporters that “It’s long overdue. It’s been 871 days since he was there.”(NY Times)
I see Obama is now”considering” going to Iraq. How very noble.
